Memorial Trees

Memorial Tree Program
The Memorial Tree Program offers you the opportunity to purchase a tree to be planted in a Missoula park in honor of a loved one. There are six varieties of trees from which you may choose:

Ponderosa Pine

Linden

Swamp White Oak

Bur Oak

Green Mountain Sugar Maple

Crabapple

There are currently seven locations where you can request your tree be planted:

Franklin Park

McCormick Park

Marilyn Park

Northside Park

Playfair Park

Rainbow Park

Wapikiya Park

The Urban Forestry division will take into consideration the tree you have chosen and the park you prefer and decide on the final location. Requests must be received by February 1st to be planted that spring. All others will be planted the following spring.

Memorial Trees cost $500 which includes a two inch or larger diameter tree, and two commemorative plaques. One plaque will be placed at the Memorial Tree and the other is kept for replacement if needed. In addition, Parks and Recreation staff will notify you when your Memorial Tree has been completed and include a photo of the tree.

If you are interested in the Memorial Tree Program please complete and return the application to 100 Hickory Street. Please direct any questions regarding this program to the Parks & Recreation Operations Department at 406-552-6253.
